I'm using xYplot to create a bubble plot of values that I'd like to
visualize on top of a filled-in map of the coast, but I'm too much of a
lattice (which I understand xYplot is built on) and mapping newbie to
figure out how to begin to make this happen. Below is some sample code
that doesn't work but illustrates my goal. Any pointers anyone has
would be much appreciated. I'm using R v2.9.0 on Windows with Hmisc
v3.6-0 and maps v2.1-0.
Cheers,
